Events leading to the ban
It has been quite a while since this ban, so my recollection may not entirely be accurate.
The specific round the ban happened in started off being more rowdy than usual. Early on, someone got a hold of the HOP’s computer and was going around offering AA. I accepted with the thought process that so long as I did not use AA to steal or sneak around, it was not antag behavior.
I used this AA to enter the bridge alongside a few other tiders/ low level employees from what I remember. I believe I then offered the captain drugs because they were stressed. The captain and the HOS (who was in the bridge aswell) freaked out and yelled in a way that my character and myself found amusing. Because of that, I then broke into the bridge repeatedly, always to be within line of sight of HOS or cap, in order to offer drugs and other various trinkets from my duffel. This eventually escalated to, once my AA was revoked, hacking in with insuls. It was around this time that I was ahelped and promptly banned.
I do not remember much of the ahelp conversation. I remember that when questioned I responded “because it’s funny”, an absolute blunder on my part, but also owned up to it immediately and asked if there was anything I could do to repair any harm. BrizbyMouse scolded me with something along the lines of “actually roleplay next time if you do choose to come back”
Reason the ban should be removed
after this ban, I took a hiatus from goob and ss14 as a whole since this and some previous bans took my by surprise. How I play ss14 tends towards chaotic good, but sometimes I get the wrong idea and take something too far. Although I do cross the line somewhat more frequently than a “safer” player, I sincerely want to add to the roleplay environment rather than detract from it. When I do receive a warning or a ban, I take the opportunity to reorient myself and clarify rules so that I have a better idea of how to behave.
I worry that my current records on goob do not reflect this. I have accrued many notes now, none of them positive. An admin looking me over isn’t likely to give me grace and is more likely to disregard the positive impacts I’ve had on the game in favor of the times where I mess up and cross a line. If I just think I’m goofing off and the admin sees it differently, I would like them to go about moderating me seeing my improvements rather than my shortcomings. This ban’s note in particular makes that very difficult since it makes it out that I am always playing assistant solely to self-antag.
If the note is not outright removed or reduced, I understand. Ultimately I did do the things it said I did and most of my negative notes are humorous about it anyways. I simply ask then, that I might be noted for some good behavior. I think a note on my account pointing out that I do take criticism from admins and improve myself from it would make my profile more accurate to me as a player.
Sorry for the long read, I wanted to make sure my points got across accurately.
